A full service gas station sits along US 441 as it runs through the Smokies in early fall. The owner in Tennessee football colors and his Bluetick hound stand out front and watch for the tourists who seem unlikely to still pass this old way since the interstate was put in. Lots of nostalgia in the painting like a Coca-Cola sign painted on the side of the white cinder block building. The trees in the rolling hills are changing colors.

A watercolor painting set in late 80s or early 90s with that vibe. A young girl sits on the tailgate of a small light blue pickup truck in a short short miniskirt wearing flip flops and a hoodie with big hair and lots of eyeshadow and big earrings and bracelets. There is a wine cooler next to her and a cigarette in her other hand.

An African American woman with very short hair and large body structure sits cross-legged while her left hand is hand cuffed to a rail on a brick wall she sits against with her head back and eyes closed as she sings a song of protest and with her right hand shakes a tambourine. She is barefoot in a long skirt and worn wool turtleneck sweater.

I’m not a sporty person and don’t know much about football, but I did notice a remarkable similarity between Manchester born Conrad Turner - aka Captain Black (left) and the arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (right).

Vampires get all the attention. Compelling characters, history, culture, relationships. Lycans are the unwanted step child. Lacking is development. Driven by a monthly mindless transformation. No connections or culture. Just hunger and rage. They deserve better. They speak to me, and it's my responsibility to loop you into real history. To caution you that the stings of your life are worked by forces you have yet to fathom.

The Missouri River runs through a canyon from 12 o'clock to 8 o'clock while two white trappers with mules receive directions from an indigenous man while his traveling & hunting partner holds their horses and watches over the situation from behind and up the hillside.

Watercolor painting of a man in faded overalls and a brown fedora hat smoking a cigarette without a shirt while pushing a faded red mower and pointing behind him as if giving audible directions to someone who has pulled over to ask. The ground is light grass green, the sky is dusk golden yellow and orange.

'Topical' goes bad faster than bananas. Thats why *most* of the jokes in Airplane! don't land anymore (geddit? eeeyyy) With this in mind, its something authors writing fiction should really avoid. Topical is the enemy of timeless.

He is best known for his short stories Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Irving spent years in Europe, reading old fairy tales in hopes of patching together new stories for readers back in the U.S. A high-ranking American official in Spain invited Irving to Madrid where the author could look over reams of documents on the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Using these and other sources, and a few of his own creative liberties, Irving wrote a well-received history of Christopher Columbus and other explorers chartered by Spain to colonize the New World. It was Irving’s flair for the dramatic that gave us the myth that European explorers believed the world was flat. Irving is also believed to be the writer who first gave New York City the nick-name of “Gotham.” It’s an old Anglo-Saxon term meaning “Goat’s Town.”

A painting of Washington Irving by John Wesley Jarvis, 1809

“Great minds have purpose, others have wishes.”

-American writer Washington Irving, born on this day in 1783

The best table in the room faces the pizza oven.

I sat alone, watched the chef, the communal tables, and let the wine do its slow, necessary damage. Time seemed to liquify, and I was lost in the monent.

It was a performance of human interaction and culinary magic.
